SOMETHING WONDERFUL.
A Minneapolis Correspondent
Surprised at Edward AtIlin-

son.
TO the Editor of the Globe.
Wonders never will cease. To find
Edward Atkinson giving credit to labor
organizations and to cooperation for a
supposed improvement in the condition
OF the working classes is indeed sur
prise. 1t is hard to put faith in such
statement. but, on the authority of an
editorial i'll the GLOBE of Friday. we are
forced to do so. Well. who next? Who

ows produced by the rising slorieS aud
brightness of the coming century.
But to come down from our mount Of
Qualification, we may now rejoice over
the universal admission that the organ-
ization of labor, leading on, as it has
done, to cooperative trade and produc-
ton, has been great step in advance.
The experiment is now to be tried
whether business III general can be car
ried OH in accordance with the princi-
pies of cooperation.
But we cannot admit that organiZa-
ton and cooperation have done what
MIR. Atkinson attributes to them. We
cannot admit that 1.-The conditions of
living are infinitely better than when

that things were about right, that the
laboring classes were doing we'll enough,
have warped his Judgment in this case.
We have long known that Mr.. Atkin-
sons statistics were justly liable to the
charge of being picked for the occasion,
and we cannot now allow him to mis-
Lead us, even if he has come into our
ranks.
We may admit that the steel and iron
workers. the glass blowers, and other
strong armed men, have organized so as
TO command respect and better their
condition. But what about the children
in our factorit S the girls and women in
our cities, that are depending on them
selves for support?
How can they organize and fight? How
can cooperation help them? How can
we congratulate ourselves that the
Strong-harded trades are gaining ground
while the little ones are left to perish. or
still worse to linger and become objects
of charity that takes notice of those
only who are so low in Indebtedness
and moral pollution that death would
he to them the most beneticent of char
tiles?
The truth is, cooperation must be an
all-embracing mother before the
weak and the lettering little ones
of society can be helped to
lives of usefulness and independence;
until the cooperative community or
commonwealth can say to the farmer,
and the SeamStreSS to the man and the
child, Come in and partake of our
labors and our feaStS, of our security
and content" the system is halfway
and imperfect. But what has been done
is prophecy of the future-of grand
and glorious future. The coming cent
ury should be the theme of every poet
of labor. for, compared with this rest
less. diScOntended, disappointing nine
teenth century, it will be one. of true
glory.
Rut the comparative prosperity pro-
duced by the abundance of cheap lands.
the abnormal demand for labor to fell
the forests. span the rivers and build
railroads should not hull us into the
stupid sleep of confident security.
There is no time for sleep now. The
day of trial is not passing away; it is
just coming. Before organization and
cooperation can become so common as
to prove itself the true specific for social
maladies. the rumblingS of social
earthquake may be upon us.
But we accept Mr.. Atkinson as new
convert. and hope he may yet do good
service in preaching the gospel of unity
and brotherhood.

knights of Momus appeared tonight in
gorgeous tableaux representing the
myths of the new world. For this pur-
pose Momus has had his counsellors
collecting facts from the legends of the
races Of America and their accounts of
the creation of the world. The Indian
of America and the legends of
the Aztecs are literally drawn
upon, and are brought forth so
that they can be really appreciated by all.
The first is a title car emblematic of the
subject portrayed. 1t consists OF q stone
temple, of pyramid shape, covered with
the heads OF the Maya divinities. Through
spaces in the stone, worn away by time,
Irresistible decay, sprouts forth peculiar
vegetation. In golden letters on the
front of the car can be seen: 1.-THE Myths

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE.
What the Gazette Says About the
Urbi ct Orb Falsehood.

Urbi ct Orb Falsehood.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE North German
Gazette says: "The Liberal press con-
tnues to circulate the Urbi ct Orbi false
hood that Europe lives in condition of
most profound peace, and that contrary
statements are only maneuvres to intimi-
date the poor electors and influence them
in favor OF the septennate. In support OF
this assertion reference is made to the
declaration OF Gen. Won Schellendorf
when he introduced the army
bill in the Reichstag. The
political horizon was totally
different then. 1t has since become
clouded solely in consequence OF the atti-
tude of the opposition, whose unpatriotic
conduct causes the conviction in France
that Germany is weakened by internal
divisions and that the moment to
attack Germany has arrived. Gen. Won
Schellendorps words wAen uttered were
quite appropriate to the situation, but he
would scarcely repeat them to-day, the
opposition having conjured up danger
OF war, which will only disappear when
France sees that Germany does not allow
unpatrIotc politicians to lead her-that is,
when a majority is returned to the Reich
stag determined to protect the empire
against her enemies"
ROUMANIAN INDEPENDENCE.
BUCHAREST, Feb. 1.-THE Chamber of
Deputies to-day voted an. yxtra military
credit of 91,200, 900 to defend the neutral
ity of the country. The measure was
adopted by vote of 90 to IL. Premier
Bratiano, in asking for the credit, de-
clared that the government was unwilling
that Roumania should again become a
field OF battle.
AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.

whole on the diplomatic and consular

DIr. Belmont, of New YORK, offered a
